Issue when running prompt

Description of the issue

I followed all of the instructions, but when I try to set the environment variable prompt, I get this error:

Hi @jhollender!

I believe that prompt string is intended for cmd.exe; you can use it with the prompt command like so:

To set the prompt in PowerShell, you'll likely want to use dracula-prompt-configuration.ps1. Here's what that looks like:

hi,

I set the prompt to $E[1;32;40m→ $E[1;36;40m$p$E[1;35;40m› $E[1;37;40m successfully, and after setting, the changes are visible.

But when I close cmd and open it again, it goes back to the previous state !

@mrfjca To persist the change, you'll want to save the string to the %PROMPT% environment variable. This can be accomplished in cmd using setx:

setx PROMPT "$E[1;32;40m→ $E[1;36;40m$p$E[1;35;40m› $E[1;37;40m"
